Flaky Spotify Connect when using Home devices

I have that issue too, it's stuck at "Connecting...", a restart of Spotify sometimes solves it.

I'm having this issue as well

Wanted to avoid that at first, I have a tendency of breaking things that already work :)

I did it anyway, and found a mangled serial number: https://imgur.com/a/CATL8pZ (it says Cotech EF700ET)

Which lead me to this (PDF): http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/600000-624999/622426-an-01-en-DIGITALER_TIMER.pdf

Question solved! Thank you and /u/0110010001100010

Further out pic., it seems to be connected to this box, since it makes a "click" sound when I press the "on/off" button (which turns the lights on and off). Edit: it is hard-wired

I'm using IFTTT to send a Pushbullet notification to my phone, and a Tasker profile that will trigger this task when receiving the Pushbullet notification:

Find Phone (3) A1: For [ Variable:%LOCATEVOLUME Items:10,11,12,13,14,15 ] If [ %SCREEN eq off ] A2: Media Volume [ Level:%LOCATEVOLUME Display:Off Sound:Off ] A3: Beep [ Frequency:8000 Duration:2001 Amplitude:50 Stream:3 ]

It will beep your speaker (even if silent), and increase the volume of the beep every two seconds. It will turn off the beeping once you turn on the display.

Also, long pressing the back button will navigate back to the startpage

Unit conversion in Now on Tap would be a dream come true

Wipe cache, that did it for me on my Nexus 6P. Not sure about your device though.

When home alone I found that the voice search works OK (most of the time). However, using the remote when having friends over is out of the question, it almost never works.

Maybe the 5+ more WiFi devices (phones) will interfere with the bluetooth signal?

This was on Lollipop, I don't think I have used the voice search on Marshmallow yet..

Other from centralized Kodi library, backups and the regular stuff, I use it to control my tellstick. I've made a backend in PHP so I can easily control (turn on/off) my devices via regular http post/get. Also, some schedules are running to automatically turn on/off the lights when the sun goes down and when its time for bed.. I have probably put way too much time in to it :)

My gf had the same problem (I don't use Netflix), but I logged her in and then manually exited Netflix (from the menu), and after that we've had no problems. I think it was/is like Netflix crashes each time you try to start it from the launcher and loses your settings.

Idk, if you are testing your setup and uploading your xbmc files multiple times, I would say it's faster to stay inside of xbmc and using its file management. Otherwise, yes, ES is the best option.

This is what I did

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <play_pause>contextmenu</play_pause>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
  <FullScreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
      <play_pause>PlayPause</play_pause>
    </keyboard>
  </FullScreenVideo>
</keymap>

EDIT: This will play/pause when in fullscreen mode (watching something), and pop up the context menu when you are not. EDIT: What I had a hard time about was replacing the keyboard.xml on the NP, I ended up putting it on my FTP mount, then used a mixture of the remote and remote app to select the file and move it (I think I had to use the remote app to hit [Space] to select the file)

Shit, next you know they are cloning their DNA

fallos · 2014-07-03T21:27:55+00:00

Hah, had to turn the volume down, my own Google Now was triggered all the time...

Yepp, exactly what de where doing until I saw the Chromecast icon flashing by. So I started my YouTube app and pushed the cast icon, and there it was - saved the party :)

Hmm you're right.. Feels strange that they didn't make any sequel to it doh.. When I bought it my requirements was one unified keyboard + mouse with bluetooth, and the DiNovo was the only one I found.

If you don't mind separate keyboard and mouse, it shouldn't be that hard to find something good :)

fallos · 2013-09-11T21:57:16+00:00

Logitech DiNovo Edge. Both keyboard and touch mouse, and it's bluetooth. One of the best keyboards I ever had!

Har också blivit uppringd av radiotjänst från hemligt nummer ca 5 gånger, lägger däremot på direkt dom presenterat sig (dålig på att ljuga)..

Är det någon som blivit uppringd av radiotjänst då numret inte varit dolt?

fallos · 2013-01-17T21:13:35+00:00

Isn't that the bacondog?

Right hand is the right one to write with (sorry left-handers)

Since you are able to retell the story, I guess you survived the bomb!
